Projects

Biology

Rate of Photosynthesis	Investigation into how changing the levels of light and CO2 affect the rate of photosynthesis.
Yeast population changes	Experiment to see how the population of yeast changes over a number of days. Two methods will be used to measure the population numbers - 1) a haemocytometer and 2) a colorimeter.
Blowfly larvae's response to light	Do blowfly larvae move towards the light or away from it? This project looks into this question.
Rate of transpiration in leafy shoots	Investigating how the surface area of the leaves and the speed of the wind affect the rate of transpiration in leafy shoots.
Surface area to volume ratio experiment	How the surface area volume ratio affects the rate of diffusion in substrates and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms.
Effect of substrate concentration on the rate of reaction	Experiment into how the concentration of the substrate hydrogen peroxide affects the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalase.

London Photo Project

The tube walking project was a personal challenge that I completed in May 2008 after walking 378.5 miles over 54 walking days spread through a period of six months.

I walked between all the station on all the lines of the London Underground. Each step of the journey is documented in this blog. Over 3000 photos were taken and are available for viewing as are the GPS walking maps for all routes.
